A $50 million civil suit charged the Pro Football Hall of Famer and media personality with rape, sexual assault and battery. The complaint, filed in a Nevada state court, also alleged the NFL legend engaged in the intentional infliction of emotions distress during a 'rocky consensual relationship' that lasted nearly two years with a woman more than 30 years younger than him.

Sharpe’s team stated they had video and text-message proof that showed the sexual relationship was all consensual.
